VIRTUAL SHAMROCK SHINDIG CELEBRATES EVERYTHING IRISH
PITTSBURGH (February 15, 2021) Get out your green and get ready for fun - shore and begorra! -- the Shamrock Shindig will be a celebration of all things Irish!
Filled with blarney, beer, munchies, music and malarkey, this online pub party is scheduled for 6:30 pm on Friday, March 12. Tickets are just $45 and can be purchased at

If you've ever pondered the proper way to kiss the Blarney Stone or order a pint of the plain, these virtual shenanigans are for you. The party is offered by GoodTaste! Pittsburgh, the region's premiere producer of culinary shows. It is sponsored by Oakmont Olive Oil, Pittsburgh City Paper and The MarketPlace at Emerald Valley.
Dr. Maura Krushinski, co-founder of the Pittsburgh Irish Festival and owner of the Irish Design Center, will host the shindig and share her abiding love of Irish heritage and culture.
